“How does a Forest Memorial work?” is one of our most common questions. The basic steps are: 1. Start by finding a Memorial Tree that fits your needs and budget. Explore available trees online or schedule a free in-person tour with a Guide. 2. When it’s time, ashes are integrated with native forest soil at the memorial table. Guests are welcome to participate. 3. Wildflower petals are added to the vessel - a symbol of new life. Hands-on guests are often surprised by how healing the experience is. 4. The ash and soil mixture is placed at the base of your tree, cradled by a nest of forest floor. Share readings, songs, and memories. 5. When the earth has settled, our Forest Guides place a customized Memorial Marker at the base of your tree. Talk to one of our Guides to learn more about the natural, healing experience of returning ashes to the earth in a forest: https://lnkd.in/gngP3vz3

In the spirit of spring, let's embark on a journey of rediscovery, seeking to restore lost traditions and ancestral practices that honored the profound interconnection with all living beings. As the season unfolds with its promise of renewal and growth, let's draw inspiration from the wisdom of our ancestors who understood the sacredness of Earth and the reciprocity of gratitude. Let's rekindle the flames of ancient ceremonies, weaving together threads of remembrance and reverence for the natural world. In the heart of the springtime, let's gather together in gratitude ceremonies, offering prayers of thanks for the abundant gifts bestowed upon us by Earth. Let's create sacred spaces where we can pause and reflect on the blessings of nature, from the nourishing soil beneath our feet to the boundless sky above. Let's honor the complex web of life that sustains us all, acknowledging our interconnectedness with the plants, animals, and elements that coexist harmoniously in this intricate tapestry of existence. Through the practice of gratitude, we not only nourish our souls but also cultivate a deeper sense of belonging and purpose within the natural world. Let's reclaim our ancestral heritage as guardians of Earth, embracing our role as stewards entrusted with the care of this sacred planet. Let's walk gently upon the land, guided by the timeless wisdom of our ancestors, and let our gratitude ceremonies serve as a beacon of light, illuminating the path towards a more harmonious and sustainable future for generations to come. #GratitudeCeremony #SpringBlessings . . . . . . . . . . . .
